I’m wondering if there is a recommendation for a small camera to take hiking, or just for general convenience. I like to turn my phone off when I’m out so I can properly disconnect, plus I’m winding down my phone dependency in general.
Something to point and shoot would be nice, but I’m potentially interested in learning a bit about using some actual camera techniques.
Maybe not what you are looking for, but I‘m very happy with my Minox PL The Minox 35 series also has models that are completely manual, if you want to take on this kind of (pretty rewarding) challenge.
My wife is very happy with her Olympus tough ( I forgot which model, but they all seem to be good)
